Music by Farya Faraji, vocals by Ashish Ali, Marriam Zeeshan, rubab and sitar by Marc Planells. Please note that this isn't reconstructed music from the era of the Mughal Empire, but modern music rooted in Indian, Pakistani, Afghani and Iranian elements. The instruments used are the santour, rubab, sitar, dilruba, sarangi, and a panoply of Indian percussions, as well as the Iranian tanboor and dotar. The structure of the music and its aesthetics are derived from Hindustani Classical music, aspects of Carnatic Classical music, as well as Qawwali, the main Sufi musical repertoire of the Indian subcontinent. The melodies use the vast repertoire of the Raga system, some of them pentatonic in nature, as well as the Dastgah system of Iranian music. The Mughals were a dynasty that ruled over the near totality of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Self-named Gurkanians; they were Persian-speaking Muslims whose genealogical roots were found in Timur, and by extension, Genghis Khan, hence the historiographical term "Mughal," which means Mongol. The lyrics sung are derived from a variety of sources: poetry in the Chagatai language written by Babur, the founder of the dynasty, poetry in the Persian language by Zeb-un-Nissa, a Mughal princess and daughter of Aurangzeb, and a localised form of Persian that overlaps linguistically with Hindustani. Lyrics: (Hindustani) Tu noor-e Hindustan hai, Noorani, noorani hai, Ya Ali, ya Muhammad, Ey meherban ey nigahban, Merhaba ya merhaba, Shahenshah ya padishah, La Illah ha i-lallah, Jallah jallalah bismillah You are the light of Hindustan, You are radiant, O Ali, oh Muhammad, O generous one, o guardian, Welcome, welcome Shahenshah and Padishash, There is no god but God, May his glory be glorified (Chagatai) Islam ichin avara-i yazi buldim, Kuffar u hind harbsazi buldim Jazm aylab idim uzni shahid olmaqqa, Amminna' lillahi ki gazi buldim I am become a desert wanderer for Islam, Having joined battle with infidels and Hindus I readied myself to become a martyr, God be thanked I am become a ghazi. (Persian) Afarin bar jegaram bad ke dar keshvar e Hend, Sekkeye naghde sokhan rajeye Iran zade am, Baz emrooz delam sooye Khorasan rafte ast, Reshteye kofr boridast o be iman rafte ast, Va nashod chon ghoncheye del, dar baharestane Hend, Raft morghe rouge Makhfi, goosheye Kabol gereft Hail to my soul, for within the country of India, I speak the valuable tongue of Iran, Again today, my heart years for Khorasan, It cuts off the root of blasphemy and goes towards faith, The flower of the heart does not bloom in the garden of India, Makhfi's secret bird instead flies away, and goes towards Kabul.
Farya your fame and talent have reached a point that if you go to the Mazandarani people page on Wikipedia or the list of Mazandaranis page you’ll see your name on there. Keep up the good work, this song is absolutely beautiful!
It's so strange and impressive at the same time that I as a Turkish man understand both Chagatai and Hindu lyrics in this video with the help of heavy influence of Persian language in my language.
Hindi as a language is heavily inspired by Sanskrit, Persian, Turkish , Arabic and now English also, like Mausam we took from Arabic, Dafa ho we say like Turks, we have persian words in our vocabulary. Urdu is even more inclined towards Arabic, Persian and Turkish. So yeah, it's a cocktail of many languages. We still say Sukriya for thank you but also say Dhanyawad like our ancient Sanskrit language.
I love how the Urdu, Turkic, and Persian sections are all thematically different in lyrics and music in ways that make perfect sense vis-a-vis each of those cultures' relationships with the Mughals.
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 hindi and urdu are still both considered to be a single language by a lot of linguists . They are considered to be different registers or dialects of the Hindustani Language. But i doubt any Pakistani or Indian will agree due to both patriotic or religous reasons.
Well, actually if we count The Janissary symphony as the track for The Ottomans. But we haven't got an Ottoman track similar to this or The Safavid one.
You never fail to amaze us with your compositions! I love the fusion of Turkomongol, Persian and Indian instruments and vocals. Northern India has been a crossroad for South Asian and Iranian cultures because of the Mughal Empire. Although my ancestors rose up and fought against them, it is undeniable that they left us with an extremely rich cultural heritage with great musical potential, which you exploited impressively! Keep it up!
I like how you included Persian and Central Asian elements in this video. Babar, the dynasty's founder, was said to have descended from Tamerlane and Genghis Khan from his father's and mother's side respectively. Moreover, the Mughals liked Persian culture so much that it caused the creation of Urdu, a mix of Perso-Arabic and Sanskrit.
This is a jewel. Ashish's voice is amazing. Everyone did a great job, of course. It's cool that not only, we have little history and musical lessons, but we also get to discover new artists 🙌
Farya also made an epic symphony about Emperor Justinian the Great of Eastern Rome. In one of the songs of that epic symphony, called Renovātiō Imperiī: Part 1, he somehow managed to incorporate: Latin; Ancient Greek (with modern pronunciation); Gothic; and Vandalic; all in one song.
In (stretching the definition, I know) retrospect, this is one of the most dynamic and energetic pieces you've done so far, comprised of so many different elements in such a short timespan, with none of them overstaying their welcome, this is really a great work and I feel it really captures the diversity inherent to any state that controled all of that vast unknowable subcontinent.
This is perhaps one of the, if not the, best synergies of musical styles you have done, giving justice to one of the most weird and fascinating dynasties in Asian history. ¡Kudos to you!
Farya , please don't pay any attention to trolls or hatemongers. History is history and we all just just love your work. Keep doing your good work. You produced a very good Mughal era music, thoroughly researched and well made. Kudos....👏
Just throwing an idea here: music piece about The kingdom of Pontus and/or Mithridates Eupator. Another opportunity to mix hellenic and persian influences!

In search of gold I have once again found diamond!!! Thank you Farya for making this masterpiece ❤ Though I know this masterpiece will be criticised by many Indians but we must accept the fact that the Mughals too played an important role in shaping mediaeval and early modern India. Anyways, keep it up!!
@@theblackone_ Don't worry, if they wanted to misuse my music, one would just need to point out that I made four Hindu songs prior, as well as Christian, Zoroastrian songs, etc. As far as radical Desi Islamists are concerned, this song is unclean by extension of having been made by someone who covered other religions and cultures.
@@faryafaraji Thank you Farya for this note of confidence. Please keep making more of these epic songs. I was wondering whether you can look into ancient Indian chronicles & works like Rājatarangini, Kavirājamarga, Karnātabhāratakathāmanjari, Abhijnānashākuntalam, Kumārasambhava, etc. Because most of the Indian songs you have made are of "religious" type & not exactly of historical nature (or it probably could be). This would be a new approach for you when it comes to Indian/Hindu songs, I guess. May the primordial within protect & guide you. Like always.
Farya doesn't miss! Seriously love this blend of musical textures and of course the multiple languages only add to it. Familiar leitmotifs pay with new ones seamlessly, another banger, another one for the books.
I like how the first melody you hear is the motif from the "Timur" song by Farya Faraji, indicating the Mughal's clear bloodline connecting them to him.
It seams you now make 10-13 minutes songs for different historical characters\dynasties\groups, along with 3-4 min. long songs and 1-1.5 hour long symphonies.
@@midlesto that's the best state according to every Muslims . Every other,no matter how great,had some good and bad rulers. The Rashidun(Rightly Guided) is the best islamic state/caliphate even today. Only,if you don't consider the state of Medina that was founded by Rasool SAW as part of Rashidun Caliphate.
That's a masterpiece❤.Would you like to compose something about Indo-Greek/Indo-Scythia era or Gandharan music based on musical instruments carved in Gandhara art? It will be really interesting and unique.
@@jijijijijjjiijijijjjjj my guy, the Muslims were well connected in the past. The Muslims traveled around and were merchants. Indonesia and Malaysia became Muslims due to traveling merchants. For example, me an African who's a Sharif(I'm a descendant of the prophet, pbuh). I'm of cushtic and arab lineage from Yemen. Check your DNA brother. You might have families all around the world❤
This video is not one that I was expecting to see in my feed but a wonderful surprise regardless! I've been waiting to see your take on the Mughals and other parts of Indian history and this did not disappoint. I can only hope to see more such pieces on figures such as Akbar, or dynasties such as the Marathas or the Cholas, or whatever else you choose to portray.
I almost squealed. Been waiting for a Mughal peice for a while now haha. Marvelous song. Goes well with the Safavid one for the Gunpowder Empire trilogy
Really great to feel that ancient Indian music that I was so trying to discover , thanks for this , I'm trying to understand more of my country's past .
Fascinating Empire in India, house of Timur they are The Mughals. Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Jahan, Aurangzeb. Maybe they are one of the most interesting empire of world history they have great structures in India and with this beautiful music we are learning more about this empire. Thanks Farya, late but Have a good Nowruz
This is a masterpiece and very well done, even Modern Bollywood movies when depicting this age don't do it serve (like including persian and turkish lyrics with the urdu), In Urdu we say "Yeh bohot zabardast hai!"
Thank you for highlighting Turkic background of the Mughals and Safawids, culturally they were Persian-Muslim but they had strong Turkic military backgrounds which made all three Gunpowder Empires of that time very unique at the same time tied by common bond of language religion and cultural mix. Unfortunately nowadays political powers of India and Iran try to portray them as purely Persian or Indian dynasties but the truth is much more complicated and interesting! Again I’m grateful to anyone that tells the truth
No we indians don't own Mughals rather we see ourselves aa their enemies in forms of maratha empire or Sikh and jat kingdoms who fought and destroyed islamic Mughals
@@AzeriDervish what's racist in hating our enemies by us indians? These Turkish Islamic empires were our enemies which is history they fought against us and we hate them what is racist in it?.... when a Hindu or a sikh hates m0slem turks because of the at0cities commited by them against us what is racist in it
@@AzeriDervish well how is it racist to hate your enemies? m0slem turks were enemies of us Indians especially us Hindus and Sikhs and suffered enormous atrocities by these Islamic Turkish empires hands we were only able to relax when maratha empire of hindus and Jat and Sikh kingdoms destroyed Mughals.....so tell me again why do we become racist in hating our enemies?
In the way Armenians hate m0slem Turks for Armenian gen0cide same way Sikhs and we Hindus who are majority of Indians at most 80 percent hate Islamic Turkish empires
Hey Farya, a Turkish guy with a Pakistani wife -who had several trips to Iran together (comes with being Twelver Shias, you know -but unlike most pilgrims we also tried to see as much of Iran besides Harams) and a deep appreciation for everything you stood with your music here. I want to thank you for something deeply personal; being the musician to whose music our soon-to-be-born son stops kicking and start floating gently.
@@BilalAhmed-zq7gq There are also Qashqai and Khalaj Turks who are Shia Muslim -while Qizilbash is not a distinct Turkic nation/tribe but militant Shia Turkmens. Also, while Azeris (who are basically Turkmens of Azerbaijan region Also "Turkmen" was the colloquial name of Oghuz Turks) -and there are a portion of Sunnis among them. I'm a convert from Sunni Islam myself, though.
Farya, you should think about incorporating Ti Ipermaho or Soson Kyrie into your next Byzantine piece the way you have with Psalm 135 and Hristos Anesti, since both were so significant to the Empire and especially requested protection for the City and Empire.
As a Turk, I like their songs very much. For me, you are one of the people who prove that music is universal. Me and my homies mostly listen to you while playing historical strategy game.🗿🍷
Now that youve made a foray into Indian classical music could you make an epic talking video about the raga system as it corelates to dastgah system and modes in general?
The ending portion from 10:40 onwards is beautiful to me, it isnt loud or agressive or even especially epic, but its just such a dignified and pleasant sounding, almost gentle rendition of the leit-motif, soothing and nice, i really dig it
Super Music thanks for creating it Love from Pakistan I'm Mughal Insha Allah one day I will pay to music artists for making Epic Songs and Drama for Mughal Empire
@@sushobhandas-eg1st You don't know I'm using here khan for a RULER not Pasthoons Genghis Khan ( KHAN )/SULTAN/RULER for Phastoons khan word use as well i know but for them its meaning not same Pastoons are not Mughal and I'm not Pastoon
Man, your music is so beautiful, I really enjoy it. I discovered your channel some weeks ago and the info you brought about the Greek origin of the Hijazqar mode left me in awe. Very good content, 👍🔥🔥
Can you do one on the Mauryans, a huge dynasty in India and had matrimonial relationship with Seleucids as Seleucus married his daughter to Chandragupta Maurya. So it can be an indo Greek and Persian fusion as Seleucus' wife was Sogdian or Persian
Why should mouryan be influenced by indo greeks when they had more power than selucus and had him marry hus daughter to them? Isnt their court language was sanskrit, pali and magadhi prakrit?
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Yes but I had to convince Farya na to produce one on them 😂 😉 also Greeks did have a huge influence in Gandhar region and Bactria no one can deny that , Ashok also says in his inscription that Yavanas lived in his empire and followed Dhamma and his own Governor in Saurashtra was a Bactrian Greek with Persian origins named Tushaspha
I absolutely love the integration of Turkic and Persianid music at the beginning and then fading of the Turkic influence as the Persianid and Indian features became more prominent in the composition ❤
Beautiful music dear farya❤️ Your job is incredibly amazing, a great hug from italy, from the land of Cesare borgia ( i hope his history could inspire you in the future)
Amazing work! The lyrics beautifully co-relate with the Mughal era in India. The second paragraph hits hard but AMAZING at the same time. That's the definition of what you call Excellence!
Even though this whole work is awesome and worth repeated listenings, it's the first three minutes that I'm obsessed with. That opening was PERFECTION.
And here I was some 2 months ago, wondering if you would ever do something related to the Mughals. You are a legend man, keep up the fantastic work! P.S. Greetings to the collaborators!
Wonderful song, I love these "fusion" pieces based on historical cultural collisions. Idk if you take suggestions, especially for symphonies given the massive amount of time, resources, and effort they undoubtedly consume, but something vaguely themed after the story of King Arthur/Anglo Saxon invasion in a Brythonic language would be a welcome addition. Maybe some Old English, Latin, and Ossetian (as a stand in for its ancestor Sarmatian, as the knights of the round table were possibly Sarmatian and Alanian cavalry in the Roman military) I know this will never happen but I just felt like I had to write it somewhere before I forgot and better yet to have it in the public where people may derive inspiration from it
I'm marathi and I have to say, this is amazing. Really well made composition and talented players and singers. I wish more people could listen to this.
Bro I m myself from India and from Hindu Religion... There may be comments from some people who thought that you make videos against us but U have uploaded 4 videos of our history too... So Bro I request you to please ignore the trollers Much love to Persia from Hindustan 🇮🇳❤🇮🇷
It's very sad to say but let the facts be known Hindus have animosity towards Muslims and our culture. Thanks to the Brits but hindus are the ones propagating their propaganda still.
Dude i have recently been looking through your work a lot. I got to know about you a whiile back from a byzantine song you produced AND YOUR WORK IS AMAZING the way you are able to Create these masterpeices and capture the essence of CUltures around the world is so Amazing to me the beauty in diversity this channel brings out to the public is Awe inspiring Keep it up Bro love your Work!!
Mughals are probably one the most underrated out there, I mean they once held the largest population in the world and contributed to 30% of the global economy. The mughlai culture is a magnificent blend of Persian, Afghan, Turkic and South Asian cultures . This culture is still strongly carried on by Muslims in India and Pakistan.
Facts They built amazing monuments and gardens that stand to this day and they are really not the barbarians that the Indian nationalists want the world to believe them to be . Amazing dynasty with a huge impact. Oh and they brought a culture which is a blend of Turkic, Persian and Indian cultures. Great dynasty!
I'm a hindu and we too carry a lot of their cultural heritage because hindus were still the majority during mughal rule since mughals patronized our art and music we in return incorporated their Turkish persian elements into our music simple cultural blend Also to correct mughals are genuinely not underrated we learn more about mughals than anything in India and another small correction theycontributed to 20-25 percent that fluctuated rule by rule India contributed to 32 percent of world's gdp even before them Still a great empire tho
Music by Farya Faraji, vocals by Ashish Ali, Marriam Zeeshan, rubab and sitar by Marc Planells. Please note that this isn't reconstructed music from the era of the Mughal Empire, but modern music rooted in Indian, Pakistani, Afghani and Iranian elements. The instruments used are the santour, rubab, sitar, dilruba, sarangi, and a panoply of Indian percussions, as well as the Iranian tanboor and dotar. The structure of the music and its aesthetics are derived from Hindustani Classical music, aspects of Carnatic Classical music, as well as Qawwali, the main Sufi musical repertoire of the Indian subcontinent. The melodies use the vast repertoire of the Raga system, some of them pentatonic in nature, as well as the Dastgah system of Iranian music.
The Mughals were a dynasty that ruled over the near totality of the Indian subcontinent for centuries. Self-named Gurkanians; they were Persian-speaking Muslims whose genealogical roots were found in Timur, and by extension, Genghis Khan, hence the historiographical term "Mughal," which means Mongol.
The lyrics sung are derived from a variety of sources: poetry in the Chagatai language written by Babur, the founder of the dynasty, poetry in the Persian language by Zeb-un-Nissa, a Mughal princess and daughter of Aurangzeb, and a localised form of Persian that overlaps linguistically with Hindustani.
Lyrics:

You are the light of Hindustan,
You are radiant,
O Ali, oh Muhammad,
O generous one, o guardian,
Welcome, welcome
Shahenshah and Padishash,
There is no god but God,
May his glory be glorified
(Chagatai)

Kuffar u hind harbsazi buldim
Jazm aylab idim uzni shahid olmaqqa,
Amminna' lillahi ki gazi buldim
I am become a desert wanderer for Islam,
Having joined battle with infidels and Hindus
I readied myself to become a martyr,
God be thanked I am become a ghazi.
(Persian)
Afarin bar jegaram bad ke dar keshvar e Hend,
Sekkeye naghde sokhan rajeye Iran zade am,
Baz emrooz delam sooye Khorasan rafte ast,
Reshteye kofr boridast o be iman rafte ast,
Va nashod chon ghoncheye del, dar baharestane Hend,
Raft morghe rouge Makhfi, goosheye Kabol gereft
Hail to my soul, for within the country of India,

Makhfi's secret bird instead flies away, and goes towards Kabul.

How do you know, did you do a DNA test, who is this ancestor ?
@@georgepats1168 Pakistanis love to claim ancestry from Arab, Persian or Turks
@@istiyakshaikh6471 lol. Fr
lol how are you Mughal? it was a dynasty, not an ethnicity. Are you from the linage of babur?
@@jijijijijjjiijijijjjjj my guy, the Muslims were well connected in the past. The Muslims traveled around and were merchants. Indonesia and Malaysia became Muslims due to traveling merchants.
For example, me an African who's a Sharif(I'm a descendant of the prophet, pbuh). I'm of cushtic and arab lineage from Yemen.
Check your DNA brother. You might have families all around the world❤
Damn, I've been feeling spoiled by the uploads lately...this was WONDERFUL. I'm going to deeply enjoy listening to it nonstop for the next week :D
the rubab is such a gorgeous instrument
This video is not one that I was expecting to see in my feed but a wonderful surprise regardless! I've been waiting to see your take on the Mughals and other parts of Indian history and this did not disappoint. I can only hope to see more such pieces on figures such as Akbar, or dynasties such as the Marathas or the Cholas, or whatever else you choose to portray.
I almost squealed. Been waiting for a Mughal peice for a while now haha. Marvelous song. Goes well with the Safavid one for the Gunpowder Empire trilogy
Farya, you have surpassed yourself lately :)) May you always have success
This is what Hans Zimmer thinks he’s making - frere, vous meritez bien de grandes distinctions et une renommée 🎉🙏🤟
This is an incredibly atmospheric and rich piece of music. Amazing work!!!
I love these medieval Indian and persian music really gives a majesic feeling to the listener
I was driving through the town in Uzbekistan where Babur was born when you posted this
Andijjan
Guys look, Farya has dropped this new banger!
FINALLY A MUGHAL SONG TO LISTEN TO THANK YOU SO MUCH
Really great to feel that ancient Indian music that I was so trying to discover , thanks for this , I'm trying to understand more of my country's past .
Fascinating Empire in India, house of Timur they are The Mughals. Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Jahan, Aurangzeb. Maybe they are one of the most interesting empire of world history they have great structures in India and with this beautiful music we are learning more about this empire. Thanks Farya, late but Have a good Nowruz
This is a masterpiece and very well done, even Modern Bollywood movies when depicting this age don't do it serve (like including persian and turkish lyrics with the urdu), In Urdu we say "Yeh bohot zabardast hai!"
Thank you for highlighting Turkic background of the Mughals and Safawids, culturally they were Persian-Muslim but they had strong Turkic military backgrounds which made all three Gunpowder Empires of that time very unique at the same time tied by common bond of language religion and cultural mix. Unfortunately nowadays political powers of India and Iran try to portray them as purely Persian or Indian dynasties but the truth is much more complicated and interesting! Again I’m grateful to anyone that tells the truth
No we indians don't own Mughals rather we see ourselves aa their enemies in forms of maratha empire or Sikh and jat kingdoms who fought and destroyed islamic Mughals
@@harshitthakural3262 Well thats racist BJP part of erasing Mughal history I wont comment that as it is complete bonkers
@@AzeriDervish what's racist in hating our enemies by us indians? These Turkish Islamic empires were our enemies which is history they fought against us and we hate them what is racist in it?.... when a Hindu or a sikh hates m0slem turks because of the at0cities commited by them against us what is racist in it
@@AzeriDervish well how is it racist to hate your enemies? m0slem turks were enemies of us Indians especially us Hindus and Sikhs and suffered enormous atrocities by these Islamic Turkish empires hands we were only able to relax when maratha empire of hindus and Jat and Sikh kingdoms destroyed Mughals.....so tell me again why do we become racist in hating our enemies?
In the way Armenians hate m0slem Turks for Armenian gen0cide same way Sikhs and we Hindus who are majority of Indians at most 80 percent hate Islamic Turkish empires
I've been anticipating this for so long!
Hey Farya, a Turkish guy with a Pakistani wife -who had several trips to Iran together (comes with being Twelver Shias, you know -but unlike most pilgrims we also tried to see as much of Iran besides Harams) and a deep appreciation for everything you stood with your music here. I want to thank you for something deeply personal; being the musician to whose music our soon-to-be-born son stops kicking and start floating gently.
Twelver Shia Turk? I thought Azeris and Qizilbash were the only twelver Shia Turks
@@BilalAhmed-zq7gq There are also Qashqai and Khalaj Turks who are Shia Muslim -while Qizilbash is not a distinct Turkic nation/tribe but militant Shia Turkmens. Also, while Azeris (who are basically Turkmens of Azerbaijan region Also "Turkmen" was the colloquial name of Oghuz Turks) -and there are a portion of Sunnis among them.
I'm a convert from Sunni Islam myself, though.
12 minutes? That's longer than the Chagatai and by far a more glorious one at that!
BABE WAKE UP THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND HAS MADE ANOTHER BANGER!!!!!!!
Thank you farya!
You show Turkic and Persian culture very well
+ Indic Culture
+the mixed islamic elements infused in it
Dzięki tej muzyce mogę podróżować po świecie nie wychodząc z domu 😊 . Dziękuję i pozdrawiam 😊
Stellar vocals from Mr. Ali!
Thanks, Glad you like the song!
Music to live for!! Awesome as usual!! My sincerest congratulations to all involved in this.
Farya, you should think about incorporating Ti Ipermaho or Soson Kyrie into your next Byzantine piece the way you have with Psalm 135 and Hristos Anesti, since both were so significant to the Empire and especially requested protection for the City and Empire.
As a Turk, I like their songs very much. For me, you are one of the people who prove that music is universal. Me and my homies mostly listen to you while playing historical strategy game.🗿🍷
0:10 the throat singing really gives a good hint of mughals who orginate from mongols
@@thunderpokemon2456 Mughal was turk of central Asia not Mongol
@@Triggeredinsaan___ nope mughals came form mongol region or got mixed
King Babur, in his book Buburname, says that his paternal family tree comes from Timur, which makes him a Karluk Uzbek Turk
@@thunderpokemon2456 The fact that Babur Shah was Turk makes the Babur dynasty Turk as well.
@@dragon1312 🙄 dude i meant babur's blood can be traced backed to khan's period and origin of mughals are very complex
Now that youve made a foray into Indian classical music could you make an epic talking video about the raga system as it corelates to dastgah system and modes in general?
Farya be making epic music for gunpowder empires, I'm waiting for the Epic Music for the Ottomans
The ending portion from 10:40 onwards is beautiful to me, it isnt loud or agressive or even especially epic, but its just such a dignified and pleasant sounding, almost gentle rendition of the leit-motif, soothing and nice, i really dig it
Love the Timur leitmotif, we making it out of Fergana with this one
Super Music thanks for creating it Love from Pakistan I'm Mughal Insha Allah one day I will pay to music artists for making Epic Songs and Drama for Mughal Empire
@@mrayangamingkhan khan is pasthun not Mughal my friend
@@sushobhandas-eg1st You don't know I'm using here khan for a RULER not Pasthoons Genghis Khan ( KHAN )/SULTAN/RULER for Phastoons khan word use as well i know but for them its meaning not same Pastoons are not Mughal and I'm not Pastoon
Well researched project 👍
Man, your music is so beautiful, I really enjoy it. I discovered your channel some weeks ago and the info you brought about the Greek origin of the Hijazqar mode left me in awe. Very good content, 👍🔥🔥
Masterpieces by Farya Faraji, Always delivered!🎉
Thanks for this piece, I especially enjoyed the choice of lyrics
Can you do one on the Mauryans, a huge dynasty in India and had matrimonial relationship with Seleucids as Seleucus married his daughter to Chandragupta Maurya. So it can be an indo Greek and Persian fusion as Seleucus' wife was Sogdian or Persian
Why should mouryan be influenced by indo greeks when they had more power than selucus and had him marry hus daughter to them? Isnt their court language was sanskrit, pali and magadhi prakrit?
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Yes but I had to convince Farya na to produce one on them 😂 😉 also Greeks did have a huge influence in Gandhar region and Bactria no one can deny that , Ashok also says in his inscription that Yavanas lived in his empire and followed Dhamma and his own Governor in Saurashtra was a Bactrian Greek with Persian origins named Tushaspha
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 Seleucus wasn't Indo Greek, Bactrian Greeks were Indo Greeks
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 I trust Farya totally that he would produce it with authenticity if he does produce it, all his work has been amazing so far 👍👏
The lyrics could come from the Ashokan inscriptions maybe?
Amazing work again 👏👍
Babe wake up! Farya Faraji just released a song about Mughals!!!
Please accept this Mughal's sincerest gratitude for this great piece of art!
How are you Mughal?
@@GenovaYork24 Fine thank you, how are you?
@@ZeeshanMKhan1 I didn't ask "How are you, Mughal?".
@@GenovaYork24 I didn't care.
@@ZeeshanMKhan1 Are you Mughal or not?
I absolutely love the integration of Turkic and Persianid music at the beginning and then fading of the Turkic influence as the Persianid and Indian features became more prominent in the composition ❤
That was Mongol , indicating their earliest origin. Then Turkic and Persian,the traditions they adopted and then Indian,the last addition
I am an indian but love the empires and states that once ruled the hindustan. Please also do some on the rajputana
Rajputs are definitely on the list!

Please do a symphony for the Mauryas @@faryafaraji
@@faryafaraji Need on rajputs ❤️
One of your best compositions. And I've said that about many you've done. But this one slays!
Beautiful music dear farya❤️ Your job is incredibly amazing, a great hug from italy, from the land of Cesare borgia ( i hope his history could inspire you in the future)
Amazing work! The lyrics beautifully co-relate with the Mughal era in India. The second paragraph hits hard but AMAZING at the same time. That's the definition of what you call Excellence!
Even though this whole work is awesome and worth repeated listenings, it's the first three minutes that I'm obsessed with. That opening was PERFECTION.
Amazing as per usual
And here I was some 2 months ago, wondering if you would ever do something related to the Mughals. You are a legend man, keep up the fantastic work!
P.S. Greetings to the collaborators!
Big fan of your channel! Good to see you branching towards Indic music. Would love to see one for the Sikhs too :)
Wonderful song, I love these "fusion" pieces based on historical cultural collisions. Idk if you take suggestions, especially for symphonies given the massive amount of time, resources, and effort they undoubtedly consume, but something vaguely themed after the story of King Arthur/Anglo Saxon invasion in a Brythonic language would be a welcome addition. Maybe some Old English, Latin, and Ossetian (as a stand in for its ancestor Sarmatian, as the knights of the round table were possibly Sarmatian and Alanian cavalry in the Roman military) I know this will never happen but I just felt like I had to write it somewhere before I forgot and better yet to have it in the public where people may derive inspiration from it
I think one about the Indus Valley Civ or Gandharans would be lit, and would be a fun challenge too.
I KNEW IT! Another of the great gunpowder empires! If it's as good as "The Safavids", then this song will be fucking awesome.
BEAUTIFUL! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
It's difficult not to revisit this 12 minute masterpiece every now and then. Especially with the new quality earphones that I just got.
I'm marathi and I have to say, this is amazing. Really well made composition and talented players and singers. I wish more people could listen to this.
Same
One of the best from Farya. I am listening since I have found it and can't stop.
Bro I m myself from India and from Hindu Religion...
There may be comments from some people who thought that you make videos against us but U have uploaded 4 videos of our history too...
So Bro I request you to please ignore the trollers
Much love to Persia from Hindustan 🇮🇳❤🇮🇷
It's very sad to say but let the facts be known Hindus have animosity towards Muslims and our culture. Thanks to the Brits but hindus are the ones propagating their propaganda still.
This turned my car into an elephant
Dude i have recently been looking through your work a lot. I got to know about you a whiile back from a byzantine song you produced AND YOUR WORK IS AMAZING the way you are able to Create these masterpeices and capture the essence of CUltures around the world is so Amazing to me the beauty in diversity this channel brings out to the public is Awe inspiring Keep it up Bro love your Work!!
I love that too. Such a cultural music.
As an Indian, I was waiting for this...
THE SMALL LITTLE TIMUR PART I LOVE IT
The Mughal Empire fascinates me. Its origin, zenith, structure, its heavy obsession with monuments and its bitter fall.
Not to forget the most important part, the diversity,of both the empire and the dynasty
Absolutely beautiful sending love from India
Omgggg finally I was searching this everywhereee
Thank you for making this it’s so perfect I feel it on a spiritual level. My ancestors blood reawakened.
Can you please make one music on Battle of Ecbatana(129BC)??
Mughals are probably one the most underrated out there, I mean they once held the largest population in the world and contributed to 30% of the global economy. The mughlai culture is a magnificent blend of Persian, Afghan, Turkic and South Asian cultures . This culture is still strongly carried on by Muslims in India and Pakistan.
Facts
They built amazing monuments and gardens that stand to this day and they are really not the barbarians that the Indian nationalists want the world to believe them to be .
Amazing dynasty with a huge impact. Oh and they brought a culture which is a blend of Turkic, Persian and Indian cultures. Great dynasty!
I'm a hindu and we too carry a lot of their cultural heritage because hindus were still the majority during mughal rule since mughals patronized our art and music we in return incorporated their Turkish persian elements into our music simple cultural blend
Also to correct mughals are genuinely not underrated we learn more about mughals than anything in India and another small correction theycontributed to 20-25 percent that fluctuated rule by rule India contributed to 32 percent of world's gdp even before them
Still a great empire tho
Türkiye’den saygı ve selamlar, bütün müziklerinizin hayranıyım, iyi ki varsınız, ömür boyu başarılar dilerim
